Met Tony and Allison for dinner (the only two people I know in Lubbock).

Noticing how genuinely friendly everyone is here. I have to check myself and make sure I'm not being rude in public. It's almost like a common understanding with the the general public, that you WILL be kind at all times. I love that. If I need a pick-me-up...I just need to go somewhere with people.

Sucky...I make $8,000 dollars less per year. Really sucky.

Seeing a jackrabbit. They are huge!

Seeing a 'real cowboy' in restaurant. Men don't where cowboy hats much in Austin.

Noticing the first tumble weed in the back yard. How did it get there? And it's huge!

Feeling loved by family. It's amazing how they truly come through for you. Tyler's family helped this pass weekend with painting and unpacking. Could not have done it without them.My parents are coming this weekend to help with yard work. This house is not pretty, but it's coming together.

The dogs have been so well behaved. They even waited in the car with Taryn during my interview (the one I was late too). That ended up being 6 total hours in the car that day.

Went to Tyler's white coat ceremony Friday night. I finally sunk in that he will be a doctor! They give them these short white jackets that make the students look more like dentists.

Went to a scrub party. Talked with the wife of a former med student. She said 'it's not that bad'. I have hopes that I will see my husband again.

Went to Abuelos for mexican food. It was alright. Can't beat Austin Tex-Mex!

Loving that my house has a radio/intercom throughout the house. Music blaring in all the rooms!

Getting used to the wood trim from the 80's that is ALL over the house.

Watching for evidence of rats (Jennifer, I will forever be scarred).

The toilet gets fixed! It used to sway from side to side when you sit on it.

Got a new laptop!

Spent almost two weeks straight with my mother in law. She's amazing and sooo helpful.

Liking that the grass is green in Lubbock and not brown.

Loving that the temperature is pleasant enough to sit outside and not drown in sweat.

Liking that there is NO humidity.

Got a brita filter for the faucet because according to the lady at the store "You DON"T drink the water in Wolfforth. I'm in Lubbock, but it still tastes nasty.

Liking that I get to shop at United Supermarket. I worked at one in Wichita for three years in highschool. They still carry out your bags for you. We met a nice man yesterday who took out our groceries. (Tyler thinks that we are capable and healthy people who can carry out our own groceries...I say, let 'em do it. It's tradition!

Oh how can I forget the chilli pepper wallpaper in the kitchen. That came down right away.

And the giant Mormon compound behind our house. Can see the statue of Gabriel a mile away. That's how I know where I live.

Touring the Tech campus. It was really pretty and the leisure pool is awesome! I can join the gym there for much cheaper than a public gym. AND they have classes.

I'll attach pictures once the house is nice and cozy. Oh, we painted the entry way to the house and the laundry room burnt orange. Gotta represent.

About Me

I just recently moved to Lubbock because my hubby got into med school. I would not have picked this path in a million years, but it's brought me some joy. I look forward to seeing what's in store. Then I plan to move back to Austin.
